The Darkest Evil

The OpenOffice.org development team finally releases a beta version of OpenOffice.org which does not require X11! One that is fully Aqua and it works and looks quite beautifully - even to the point where I would remove Microsoft Office and use OpenOffice.org exclusively. In fact, as soon as I have used it extensively enough, I am going to write a complete guide on the new OpenOffice.org for Mac. But I think I like the eye candy in Microsoft Office v. X better. (more…)

I have to find a way to make $450 quickly so I can afford the rent this month. It is getting to be so costly. In fact, I am kind of afraid to ask Shush for a small extension on my rent so I can make the date. I am so tired of this shit. I guess the only way I am going to catch up is by becoming an agent for something like the Sunflower Network. Also, Nicholi is still having trouble registering the non-profit with registries so I can’t apply for my work permit yet. Plus, I don’t have the $150 fee for the work permit. I mean, I don’t see why people wouldn’t want to loan me the money for that. As soon as I get it and Nicholi gets the non-profit registered, I will be able to pay back the loan. After all, I would have a job. I need to get $75 together also to renew my bus pass for next month. Otherwise, I will probably be stuck in this house. Plus, I need the money for the pass before the 10th of next month.

I have this copy of Microsoft Windows that I have not installed on my computer but is opened. Tomorrow, I am going to try to return it at London Drugs tomorrow. I am tired of just skating by each month and plus, I have very little money to eat on so I am screwed on that end. What a shame too, considering I have been craving Taco Bell for the longest time. Plus, I want to get some of those Moo.com cards and I would like to get my phone line moved over here. I am also having my copy of Poser 7 returned so I can have $250 USD transferred into Canada. Plus, I am begging the owner of the Sunflower Network to allow me to work on that project as soon as possible. I will probably offer to redesign their website for them for free.

Okay, so here is the skinny. I am going to have to send my computer in to Hewlett Packard, but the only problem is I can’t seem to find my CD for Photoshop CS. This will make it a nightmare because I need to have Photoshop CS to upgrade to Photoshop CS2. Maybe I should consider the possibility of just removing the hard drive of this computer and deactiving CS2. This way, HP won’t wipe the drive.

Also, I am going to get out of the professional web design business due to the fact that I can relatively NEVER finish everything. I am not going to abandon web design and my current clients. All clients that I have promised work to will get it. However, there will be no new clients unless I specifically look for work. If I like your site and you are a good client, I’ll keep doing business for you.

Generally though, I have to focus on raising the money for the CIC (approximately $1525 Canadian) and getting my newest project off the ground. What is it? I am not telling but if you keep an eye on The Coldwood, you might see it come into being.

I also located Adam’s new telephone number and I talked to his wife. Appearantly Adam said that he owed me less than $100 (he actually owes me $150) and also he is… someplace that I really couldn’t decipher due to the fact that Adam’s wife stated that she had children around. While I am not one to gossip, I have a few guesses: jail, rehab, psych ward or a brothel. Either way, I really need to get that money.

Oh, and I am pretty sure that you fail it.
